Sonic Next Gen again?! O.o Yep, now that my computer doesn't suck all that much anymore, I'm revisiting this project and revamping the first five acts with new gameplay footage and new editing effects that Acts 6-9 had. However, this is treatment only the Japanese version of this project will receive; SonicMovies will start his Sonic Next Gen movie soon, so go to him for the English version when it comes out. Anyway... Love it or hate it, here's the beginning of Japanese Sonic Next-Gen for those who may prefer to listen to the Japanese voices on Youtube. See it all from beginning to end in the best order in which the scenes happen in real time (such as it is). In this act, we are introduced to Silver the Hedgehog, a warrior from the future that continuously battles with Iblis, the Flames of Disaster, along with his friend, Blaze the Cat. Silver and Blaze confront the mysterious Mephiles who sends them to the future to assassinate who may have caused their bleak future, the Iblis Trigger... Sonic?! Hope you enjoy! :) Personal comments: I was inspired to do this project by SonicMovies, seeing him do an old hobby of putting scenes in the 3D Sonic games in order I used to do. Sonic Next Gen appeared to be the one people asked for, but before he had help, SonicMovies probably might not have done it since he doesn't have a Xbox 360 or PS3. So, I decided to do it, though I would've chosen to do Sonic and the Secret Rings at first impulse. Otherwise, I do not care much for this game. While I don't totally despise it, it stands as the most disappointing Sonic game I've ever played next to Sonic 3D Blast. As you watch this movie, I'll be providing a bit of commentary concerning what's going on in the vid and whatnot about the Sonic franchise. IMO, Crisis City is practically the best level Silver has, if not the ONLY best level he's got. Then, it doesn't get all that better. The gameplay concept of psychokinesis, while very overpowered in comparison to other Sonic characters save Shadow, was a decent idea (not everyone would like it), but because this game was rushed before the bugs were ironed out, it didn't turn out as well as it could've been. The items you pick up sometimes don't go the direction you want it to and Silver's so slow that you can almost always get hit especially in the later levels, for example. When first playing this game, Silver kept the longest to get the hang of. Silver's one of those Sonic characters that most fans tend to flame. I hear "He's a ripoff of Trunks," "He's so damn slow," "He ruined Blaze," and stuff like that. Me, I'm kinda half-and-half with Silver. The idea of his powers are kinda interesting, and I did like his story better than Sonic's. But, his personality can come across as boring to me, seeing as I've seen such a character in his situation before. Plus, if we really needed a new character, couldn't Silver maintain an antagonistic role throughout the whole game? I feel that when he first met Sonic and tried to kill him, the character of Silver shined the most. If I were to change one thing about Silver, I would make him to be a bad guy or fallen hero, 'cause he can definitely pull it off with his design plus he'd be a tough villain to beat what with his powers. I think we have too many good Sonic characters; I would like a few more villain characters that stick around for more than one game, just as long as they don't forget about Robotnik; hell, Metal Sonic can use more appearances other than spin-offs. But, that's just my thoughts.
